Neil Nitin Mukesh: 'I love being in horror films'

The actor will be seen next in 3G, opposite real-life girlfriend Sonal Chauhan.

He told Bollywood Hungama: "3G is a psychological thriller which leaves you with a lot of question marks as it moves ahead. You try to figure out whether this man is a vampire, someone possessed, schizophrenic, split personality or a serial killer.

"It was all the more fun for me to step into this arena since my father and I have been the biggest fans of horror and simply love the genre. Ever since I was a kid I have been watching these films and today I am a part of one such story."

Mukesh added that his most recent film David also marked a turning point in his career.

"I am stunned to see the kind of accolades that have come ever since the release of the film," he explained.

"When the audience appreciates you, it is a good thing in its own way. However, when the industry too acknowledges what you have done and comes forward to support your act, it is an altogether different high.

"The last time this happened to me in such a unanimous manner was more than half a decade back when Johnny Gaddaar had released. Today I am reliving the same moment."
